MAN OF THE DAY

A splendid piece of ball-ripping and a fine scamper from Scott Williams gave Wales the try they desperately wanted in the dying minutes at Twickenham. Great opportunism and a nice bit of rugby karma: after two charge down-led wins England probably had it coming.

WELSH ROYALTY REVIEW

It's not unusual to see Tom Jones at Twickenham when Wales are in town. Katherine Jenkins posted a picture of herself with him on Twitter, but more of a surprise was the sight of a grinning Andrew Flintoff alongside the Welsh singing duo. Jenkins won £20 off him in a match bet. Hospitality must have been good.

WEATHERWATCH

What a difference two weeks makes. Last Six Nations weekend Ireland fans were stamping their feet with cold (and frustration) in the stands at Stade de France; now they needed sunglasses to view their romp at the Aviva Stadium. But with four rugby weekends in four weeks (there are fixtures in Paris and Dublin before the St Patrick's Day climax at Twickenham) forget player burnout, it's the fans we feel sorry for.

INNER SANCTUM

Nice glimpse inside the England dressing room on TV. Players get a changing area with their name on a plaque screwed to the wall, a programme, two bottles of water and of course their kit. The embroiderers earn their corn: every shirt has the player's name, cap number, fixture and date sewn on.

HAIR OF THE DAY

A toss up between Martin Castrogiovanni in the BBC's Dublin studio and England lock Geoff Parling. Castro just about shaded it, largely because his berth next to Keith Wood served only to enhance the Italian's impressive locks.

FAMILY FORTUNES

Family of the day were the Owens siblings from Wales: hooker Ken made his debut in the men's win before sister Vicky played at lock in the women's match on the same turf. The family's Twickenham tally: P2 W1 L1.

UNANSWERED QUESTION

Could Toby Flood have landed it? Imagine the Television Match Official had awarded David Strettle's last-minute "try". With Owen Farrell off with a dead leg the right-footed Toby Flood would have faced his first kick of the game: a hell of a conversion from the far right touchline to draw the match 19-19. We'll never know.
